    Tree of protection is a good one for both PvE and PvP it gives heals based on your HP

    Occolt ice is good mostly for Pvp it stuns the enemy( not quite sure how long )


    And there may be some others but I'm too sleepy to think of them xD


    EDIT: Solid shield is good too it reduces 35% dmg but slows you abit

    My barb has as skills on his genie : (Notice it's a STR based genie and it has near 80 str now and is build for PvE, not PvP)

    - Solid shield :

    Great for protection, slows you but if enemy doesn't move, who cares..At 80 str, cuts more then 1/2 damage, not as good as invoke for sure, but no sparks used.

    - Earthquake :

    At level 10, 100% chance to cancel casting. Marvellous vs Nob and company, when u miss alacarity or just dont use it

    - Cloud eruption :

    Costy in energy (leave it at lvl 1, costs 130) but gives 1 spark and 1/3 of a bar of chi at 80 str. Very useful and all around less costy then always drinking chi pots. Also letting you use other apo pots instead.

    - Tangling mire (If u can allow yourself a 4th skill) :

    Tank barbs need the extra damage output. High str genie's Mire + Devour + HF from BM = "ouch" for most mobs, but APS will mostly steal agro a few secs.

    Wait, I have no healing skills ? I'm mostly with my wife cleric. If you don't have one with you, crab meats, normal hp pots, apo pots or now the saps of deaths/poulctice of emissaries will do the job.

    If u get very high lucky points, didn't really calculate affinities wise, but might be able squeeze in Tree of protection in there..

    Not a perfect built genie, but for me it works. Also using Gatherstorm for now, so that little 10% to proc and heal 5% does help.

    Suggestion if u go with that set-up ? At least 55 lucky points by lvl 80. So you can put 25 in vit to have 130 for cloud eruption. Maybe like 25 in magic, to have faster regen.At 130 energy, 30 magic, u can cast earthquake 3 times in a row in same energy bar. Rest in str, with if possible any str oriented genie equips. Do mind that after a while (I think 40), str points will cost double.

    Hope it helps and people suggests other builds :)

    Fuzzy doesn't rely too heavily on his genie when pk'ing, but there are a couple of skills that can be handy....

    Tree of Protection when combined with Arma can be handy if you want to get in a kill shot, but like any other time, need to choose wisely when to Arma in pk.

    Occult Ice is a skill the panda sees used alot, however, unless you are a claw barb, Fuzzy doesn't really see the point.

    Absolute Domain can be a nice skill to have handy. Usually you have a split second window to use it when a sin pops out of stealth right on top of you, and in that situation it can be a life saver.

    True Emptyness is also pretty handy. When you are fighting folk up off the ground, having your genie throw that one at em can hit like a truck.



    There are many others skills that are always nice to have on a genie such as Mire, Holy Path, Wind Sheild etc, but for the more pve based skills it is better Fuzzy thinks, to build an entirely different genie for that.

    The best advice is to simply read through the skills that are on the genie tree and decide for yourself what might work best.

    Couple that haven't been mentioned are Absolute Domain. Can follow up when an arma misses. I usually will drain my genie first, because I use ToP then arma for extra damage.

    Also noteworth mentions are Balance/True Emptiness + Reflect Aura against caster classes.

    Had solid Shield for a while, but I'm coming to the thought there are things better put on my genie than that skill.

    Occult ice is pretty much a necessity, since your only other stun is a 4 second mighty swing stun.

    Absolute domain is pretty necessary

    Tangling Mire is great, especially for arma.

    Solid shield

    True Emptiness can be good although at endgame it's not that useful as most/all squishies will have a ton of pdef.

    Holy path

    Tree of protection

    Expel

    Extreme poison


    Take your pick.

    I dont even keep TE for the squishes or killing targets anymore, primary use = being able to absorb magic attacks even when your genie has 1 energy.

    Kind of. EM is an amp (multiplies your dmg), single target, doesn't stack with some skills like Subsea, and single target. Most importantly it requires dex to be efficient. If you have a 200+ energy genie than bramble rage and EP against a target is awesome.

    TM is a debuff (reduces defense), aoe, doesn't stack with some genie skills like Impact. Most importantly it requires strength to be efficient. TM in a TW "mosh pit" right before you arma is... just yummy.

    This link is mah Genie, I know most wont get an 8 skill genie, but as a rough outline for any barb, it serves me well all the skills are constantly in use for pk or pve, multi purpose ftw! :D

    P.S. in case your thinking, my genie dosent have any items on it yet cos im saving for the highest mirror items, the lvl 6 ones I think, warsong emblems went to guild base ftl! ._.
